Galco Launches the Masterbilt Dual Defense Rig

Galco Holsters keeps expanding its top shelf Masterbilt leather holster offerings. The latest product launched under the Masterbilt label is the new Galco Dual Defense Right, which consists of a shoulder holster harness system with the capacity to hold two small-frame revolver holsters. 

The Galco Masterbilt Dual Defense Rig is optimized for such guns by having holsters that not only accommodate revolvers but do so by having open front design holsters, a diagonal orientation and dual-carry. In addition, the positioning of the small frame revolver holster swivels relative to the harness embodies Galco’s original “Jackass” designs–the products that put this company on the map some 50 years ago.

Galco Dual Defense Rigs are available in a black finished leather with a tan interior lining. As a Galco Masterbilt product, the Dual Defense Rig is under Galco’s most premium product offerings. It also means that Galco uses the finest hides to form these holsters while relying on its most experienced leatherworkers to craft them. The Masterbilt hand crafting process also results in leather holsters that need no break in and are ready to wear as soon as you take them out of their packaging. 

Galco Masterbilt Dual Defense Rig features

  • Carries two revolvers
  • Dual lined, premium steerhide holsters
  • Hand-molded by master craftsmen
  • Diagonal, muzzle-up carry
  • Open-front holsters with adjustable tension
  • Comfortable 2.5-inch-wide harness
  • Available in black with tan smooth interior 

Pricing for Masterbilt Dual Defense Rigs starts at $498. To learn more, please visit www.galcogunleather.com
